Re: Can anyone confirm true size of 35mm Aqua Terr
In Response To: Can anyone confirm true size of 35mm Aqua Terra? ()

Lucky for you, Eric, I work in a jewelry store and I have a ruler so here goes nothing.
Model number 2504.50.00 (Black-dialled Co-Axial AT) measures 35.5mm across the front from 9 to 3.
Across the back, it measures just a fraction less than that. According to the Omega Sales Handbook,the diameter is 36.2mm.
Bear in mind that I am using a standard 30cm ruler made of stainless steel, so I'm trying to be careful here.
For anyone who's not into metric, the watch measure EXACTLY one-and-three-quarter inches across the front from 9 to 3.
And I mean exactly.
Convert that into millimetres and Bob's your uncle.
But Eric, if you're gonna be such a stickler over the measurements, then you're gonna hate the time-keeping on this thing.
It loses about 1 or 2 seconds a day.

Cheers,

teeritz
